Al-Qaida's No 2 urges Pakistan uprising

A TAPE purportedly recorded by Ayman al-Zawahri, the No 2 in the al-Qaida terror group, called Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf a traitor yesterday and urged people to get rid of his government.

The audiotape was broadcast by the pan-Arab satellite channel Al-Jazeera.

The speaker, who sounded like al-Zawahri, also called for a military uprising in Pakistan.
